Water Leak Detection

Leak detection is a method in which the existence of a leak within a system is determined. The techniques are utilized across a wide range of systems where a container must seal in some material. The variety of detection methods can be classified as internal or external, depending on where the leak detection system (LDC) is located.

Leaks are often the final effect of corrosion, where the deterioration of a metal container breaks down to the point that the contained material escapes. Because leak detection may reveal corrosion, it provides an alternative method for corrosion testing when other methods fail.
